Dumb things to put in your obby maps

1. Spinning platforms.
I am talking about the platforms that are on a motor that you have to go round on. At best it’s fucking difficult to get on them because whenever I land on it i slip off, but also getting off provides the same problem. If you really must add one, then make it go slowly.

2. "Guessing Games"
I just played a map called “bridge” where the object was to jump on coloured PHX panels or Errors for me (fuck you, I am not downloading a bunch of shitty models so i can make some equally shitty contraptions, and in any case, obby maps aren’t meant to have it). Some of them were nocollided so in essence it was 20 mins or so of trial and error to get to the end. This isn’t fun, it’s just boring.

3. Player controlled puzzles
Tower of terror comes to mind, with the end bit requiring you to press buttons to move the platform. With only you there it is fun, with anyone else, its a nightmare as they will always try and recall the platform when you are trying to make your jump.

4. “Luck” puzzles
What i mean by this are puzzles which have eg. super fast spinning props. Where your only chance is to jump into it and hope that somehow you will be flung out of it alive.

5. Fake props
Fuck you.
(see pt. 2 for more info)

6. Unfrozen Props
Jumping off them is glitchy as fuck. Stop making dumb rope bridges with them.

I am sorry, but Bridge is stupid. There is no skill involved. A good course should have skillful jumps, puzzle solving and dodging moving things. Random guesswork is not fun.
I am not that good with E2 or wire but maybe you could somehow make Bridge randomly generated each time. The gameplay would still suck, but at least it would be different each time.

Yes let’s take out some interactivity in a map just because you can get thrown off a few times before you get to the hooks (oh no I have to take an extra 3 seconds to let someone go before me who will probably just fall off anyway, whatever will I do)

If people had to take out every single griefable aspect of maps, there would be no moving props other than motors that instantly gib you. There would be nothing but jump courses, mazes, and guessing games (and even then that can be griefable with the party leader veering off a platform with 2000 followers behind him, all plunging to their death). The point is that you either have to A: accept kids can be annoying little shits or B: ban them if they’re being repeat offenders, if applicable.

also I only see people doing that if the person on the platform in question has some kind of personal conflict one way or another with the remote control kid back at the clock, so yeah

In my opinion these are all fail besides the guess jumps and super spinning props, also you should add not to make it super super hard. Minges wont shut the f**k up if its a hard map they will whine and say “I r teh sux change the map pl0x”.
